I got out of bed and washed up. After that, I went downstairs and saw that Minnie had already filled the table with mouth-watering dishes. When she noticed me, she smiled and it caused her eyes to squint. She said, "You're awake. Come and have a taste, I've made quite a few dishes. See which one you like, I'll cook more for you in the future."
I looked around and didn't see Hendrix. I was amazed when I sat at the table full of delectable foods. I looked at Minnie and asked, "Minnie, isn't this too much?"
She shook her head with a chuckle and said, "Not at all, pregnant women should eat more. Mr. Roberts said that you ate too little and should eat more."
"Where did he go?" I hadn't seen Hendrix since I had woken up.
"He went to the company. Someone has been ringing him and urging him to go to the company," Minnie told me. I nodded as I listened to Minnie's nagging. I ate while going over the day's plans for work.
Considering the fact that I have been having some bad luck lately, I kept bumping into Austin, that snake. It wasn't ideal for him to always see me arrive late for work.
After having a few bites, I was ready to leave. Minnie saw that I didn't eat much and was afraid that I would be hungry, so she prepared a lunch box filled with some fruits for me to bring to work.
I felt sorry to refuse her, so I just brought it with me.
Fortunately, I didn't meet Austin in the company. As soon as I got out of the elevator, someone grabbed my wrist and turned me around forcefully.
I felt my vision blur. Before I could even see clearly who the person was, a palm had already landed heavily on my face.
A loud slap sounded.
The entire office turned silent.
The only thing I felt was the burning sensation on my cheek.
After a long while, I narrowed my eyes and peered at the woman in front of me who was so furious that her face was twisted. Meanwhile, I was equally enraged.
"Arianna, you lied to me! How could you lie to me?" Pulling me violently, Andrea's face twisted to the point that it was a little terrifying.
I lied to her?
Was she talking about the child?
